Search and Replace Performance imporvement
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 4:53 am
This is for the Eclipse plugin. On very large files, when doing a search and replace, on an element tag that repeats multiple times, it can take over 10 minutes for the search and replace operation to complete. This is very noticeable on extremely large XSD or XML files.
This in itself may be an eclipse issue, but performance seems to very by plugin. But Oxygen has always been slow in this aspect.
An example, open a large XSD that has many documentation elements. Do a search and replace on the documentation elements, and take a nap. It will take a while for Oxygen to return control. The operation does complete successfully, just takes a LOOONG time.
